JConcepts 8ight-E 3.0 Silencer body shell

JConcepts introduce the Silencer body shell for the TLR 8ight-E 3.0 buggy. Designed especially for the use on high-speed tracks the newly designed body features a narrowed, Finnisher stance cockpit that allows for smoother high-speed transition and increased flow in and out of the body for electrical air-flow. A deep recess behind the cab features dual channeling out the rear providing air escape along with rear-end stability. The Silencer side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tires while the extended runner features on the rear-end of the body enhance the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered and a more heat-shrink design over motor and speed control area are highlighted features and the body is capped off with a cockpit “shark fin” for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness. As usual the body comes clear, includes window masks and a decal sheet.

RDRP Ultra 1/10 shock O-ring set

New from Revolution Design Racing Products comes the Ultra 1/10th shock O-ring set. The seals are made from a specially formulated compound that is much less prone to “swell” under the influence of silicone shock oil meaning a better seat of the seals within the damper cartridges over a longer period of time. The O-rings also have a lower break away point compared to standard “orange” seals for a more sensitive damper action. The O-rings come in a 16-piece set, enough to equip 8 shocks, and they fit nearly all of today’s 1/10th on-road and off-road shock absorbers.

STRC SCX10 Jeep Rubicon aluminium options

ST Racing Concepts have two new option parts for the Axial SCX10 available in the form of an aluminium front and rear bumper mount as well as a side rail mount.

All necessary hardware included and the parts are available in anodised black, gun metal, green and silver. Also new is the CNC-machined heavy duty side rail mount, again made for the SCX10 truck. They are an exact replica of the stock piece but in highly detailed machined aluminium. The mounts are sold in pairs and are available in anodised black, gun metal, green and silver.
